Deficiency is an unusual film about the insidious nature of ideology and the rise of anti-Semitism in contemporary Europe.
Deficiency tells the true story of a French loner, Roland Resse, who is torn between the anti-Semitic hate of a fascist co-worker and the love of his warmhearted landlady. Roland's struggle to reconcile the different sides of his life explodes in heart-wrenching violence when he discovers that the old woman is Jewish.—Anonymous
